History chose not to tell us anything else about her,” Frank elaborated for MTV. We know she was real, we know she posed for Leonardo, and we know she was important to him. Take this character, Caterina da Cremona.
“The other thing I think we started to realize was that so many people’s stories are not told by history.
The answers they wanted from the past might never come to them, but they could present their own interpretation of the unknown to the world to portray a cohesive story. Initially, the holes in Leonardo Da Vinci’s story frustrated the creators, but they soon realized that what they thought was a dead-end might turn into an opportunity for something more.Īs seasoned storytellers, Frank and Steve discovered that the bothersome missing links that fractured the storyline could be weaved back together through their imagination. However, they ran into perhaps the biggest problem a historian could face- lack of information.
Apparently, creators Frank Spotnitz and Steve Thompson started with the intention of keeping the narrative historically accurate. While the show attempts to tell a biographical tale of Leonardo da Vinci, the numerous differences between the series and the documented history make it only partly accurate. ‘Leonardo’ is partially based on a true story. Naturally, they must be curious to know if the story told in the series is based on his experiences or simply a fictional re-imagination of the artist’s life. We are sure that many of our readers might be familiar with the name of the show’s protagonist Leonardo da Vinci.
Through Leonardo’s story, viewers learn more about what life may have been like during the High Renaissance. Starring Aidan Turner, Freddie Highmore, Matilda De Angelis, and James D’Arcy, the show takes the viewers on an adventure through the transformative era within Italy.
